Pena não podermos editar widgets (seria muito útil) My regards

It's a really cool extension. I love the look and feel. I have used it for a week or so now and it's very buggy. Resolution changes on me without warning. I can't put widgets on the bottom row at times. I am sure it will improve but for now the bugs are why I give it three stars.
